Performer: Various Artists
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: A nice combination of well-known and lesser-known songs from some of the most famous salseros, Las No. 1 de la Salsa features tracks from Ray Barretto ("Indestructible"), Ismael Rivera ("Dime por Qu�"), Willie Col�n ("Idilio"), and Rub�n Blades ("Camale�n"). And while Celia Cruz's "La Negra Tiene Tumbao" may not be the best representation of the singer's body of work, it's still pretty fun (although it certainly has a darker undertone than what's found in most salsa), and complements the rest of the record nicely. The music on Las No. 1 de la Salsa spans from the late '70s to the early part of the new millennium, showcasing a nice slice of the genre's history, and making -- in terms of good salsa compilations -- the album one of the better overviews out there. ~ Marisa Brown
